Hi everyone,
I’m a Grade 12 student in Canada preparing for the Canadian pathway toward the International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics (IOAA). I’m looking for an experienced tutor (ideally a Stanford undergrad/grad, alum, or former IOAA/astronomy olympiad competitor) to coach me remotely.

What I’m looking for

Strong background in astronomy/astrophysics + contest-style problem solving

Familiarity with IOAA-style components: theory, data analysis, and observational/planetarium

Ability to create a structured plan with weekly problem sets, feedback, and mock exams

Long-term mentorship is preferred (not just a few sessions)

Logistics

Format: Remote (Zoom/Google Meet), 1:1

Schedule: Flexible across North American time zones

Compensation: Negotiable, paid (please share your rate and experience)

Bonus
If you’ve done IOAA (or similar), I’d love to learn what actually moved the needle for you. Even if you’re too busy to tutor, I’m happy to do a short cafe chat and I can treat you to a virtual bubble tea.

If interested, please email me at [ lystra070821@gmail.com ] with:

Your background (major, relevant coursework/research, contest experience)

Any IOAA/olympiad involvement (if applicable)

Your hourly rate and availability
Thanks so much!

(Practical note: since this is SUpost, I’m happy to verify identity and keep payment straightforward.)
